David Crawford Vs. American Hardcore
I get T.J. DiReda (co-owner of American Hardcore) on the phone (2/15/06).
Luke: "I hear you owe David Lord (aka David Crawford) money and that he might sue you."
TJ: "That's the first I've heard that he might sue.
"We're revving up to three more titles a month.
"It's been frustrating to find a team of people who bring their best game to the table. We've gotten fed up with people who are not doing the job that they represent they are going to do. We've decided to not pay those people, I mean specifically, David Lord.
"We chose to shoot a movie in Las Vegas while we were there for the [January] show. We had rented a house. His part of the deal as the production manager and the one doing the deal with the actors was that he was going to work it out with talent so they could stay at the house [during the convention] and maybe they could shoot some scenes as payment. I have the budget he did with all zeroes for the talent.
"When we got back, it turned out that he hadn't done that. It cost us $10,000. If you represent you are going to do something and you don't, it's going to come out of your pocket.
"We were flustered. We were taken aback. We don't want to leave anybody hanging.
"I've been out of communication at times, going back and forth to Boston because my father's been in the hospital.
"We've never had any problems paying people. We've paid people on set on the day of the shoot. I've even gotten in my car to drive payments over to people.
"I've decided to take on all the directing (with a few exceptions). This is a diluted market with people bringing the least amount of quality that they can."
Travis Bickle writes me:
Another illiterate Jeff Mullet-head press release on the Rob Rotten deal that caps with "VCA has carved out a nice niche in what is affectionately referred to as an alternate style of porn with titles such as Kill Girl Kill and Neu Wave Hookers and Joanna’s Angels starring alt-porn queen Joanna Angel. Rob Rotten will be working closely with VCA’s Peter Reynolds who has championed this movement." "alternate style of porn?"
Everyone knows that "alt" is short for "ALTERNATIVE." It's been a common marketing term for years. But it's nice that LFP is trying to buff up their image as uncaring, tyrannical employers by giving important work to the mildly retarded.
Rob Rotten writes me: "Hey what’s up dude? Hey I couldn’t agree with you more about the “ALT Porn” name. Dude it is so gay. I cannot stand it. It really sucks that I have been tossed in that stupid ass genre. I am sure that there will more stuff to come… and yes I am illiterate."
A source remembers late 2005: "She was desperately trying to come out here to hook. She said I could ---- her. She sounded like she was hopped on something like meth. It's sad. She was a fun nice girl back in the day."
Dakota Cameron (a Boethius for the 21st Century) emails me:
hey. llluukkeee . i am like totally over the whatever her name is thing. it was well worth the waste of breath and time. time is money. and wankus is right... it's just opinions. but it's so yesterday... oh and luke... are you a.. a spokesman for the internet? what is your job title?
in elcaminos yearbook on the popularity poll i got MOST LIKELY TO SPEAK MY MIND... and u know what? IT JUST PAID OFF!
'My unknowing attempt to date gay guys'
He was my type: tall, skinny, intellectual, and a bit shy. He was also slightly punky, a testament to my high school years when I used to wear a lot of black and listen to Screeching Weasel and Minor Threat, and decided that dyeing my hair blue was a really good idea.
...I was flabbergasted. I knew I had bad gaydar, but this was ridiculous. "Are...are you sure?" I stammered. "I mean, have you ever tried girls? We can take it up the ass too, you know!"
My Dinner With Holly
Wednesday. 3pm.
HollyRandall: hey, so what time?
Luke: 6:30?
HollyRandall: can we make it just a bit later perhaps?
Luke: sure, so name a time
HollyRandall: do you need to make reservations?
Luke: No, Taco bell is informal in that way
HollyRandall: i LOOOOVE taco bell!
3:12pm. Holly calls.
Luke: "Your Moral Leader."
Holly: "It's always funny when you answer the phone like that."
Luke: "Maybe I can do you as a moral leader."
Holly: "I don't think that's going to be turn me on because I don't
give a crap about religion. A professor thing would be different because
I care very much about education."
Luke: "Maybe I could be your professor of moral philosophy."
Holly: "I hated philosophy. That was my worst class ever."
Luke: "I've got the book I'm going to take photos of you naked with
in my hovel -- The
Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius. We can use it to cover up the
naughty bits."
Holly: "You're crazy."
Luke: "We'll shoot it very tastefully. No spread shots. I'm going
to do all the lighting myself."
Holly: "You're going to be exhausted afterwards?"
Luke: "I'm not going to use an assistant."
Holly: "Are you going to bitch about it?"
Luke: "I'm getting everything set up now. I'm so excited. I finally
get to do what I want to do."
Holly: "Luke, you really deserve a kick in the balls."
Bob East
Craig Valentine emails: "Well it is nice to Bob East [formerly of Lava Releasing distributors] got himself a nice job with Metro. Since Bob nor Howard [of Lava] are answering emails or snail mail we are still awaiting payment for all of our videos. The last excuse was people don't like paying a out of business corp. Hey people don't like paying in business corps. It don't matter. I got a sales report that says you sold the movies pay the money. Or my last email from Howard Taylor -- don't threaten to try and collect money from us, you will get it when ever we give it to you."
Dakota Cameron Update
I call her at 10:40 am Wednesday.
Dakota, sounding sleepy: "Dakota's Castle. What's your hassle?"
Luke: "How's your hangover?"
Dakota: "I didn't go out last night."
Luke: "Did you get into any trouble for our interview?"
Dakota: "No. Not yet. I think a lot of people are happy to see that something has been said."
Luke: "So how did you learn to give a blowjob?"
Dakota: "I was 15. It was late October. I had no idea about how to give head. I knew nothing about sex except what I had seen from TV, which was softcore. You couldn't even see the actual insertion. This guy I had a crush on, Brandon, was playing in a band at the Cobalt cafe. He had never gotten head before. My plan was to be me having my first time giving head to him having his first head.
"My friend and I walked over to Denny's and she told me how to give head. She said, 'Quick, quick. Slow, slow.'
"I was afraid that when I got a boyfriend, I wouldn't know what I was doing. A lot of girls think that. This is what we talk about at slumber parties before we masturbate.
"I went over to the Cobalt Cafe and I gave him head in the bathroom and he came within two minutes. That's how I got my nickname Donutz. I like to put Donuts on the man when I give oral sex."
Luke: "Did you go home and tell your parents?"
Dakota: "I grew up in a strict Catholic family. My parents did not have time for me. No sex was discussed in my house."
Luke: "How did make you feel when all that stuff went down your throat?"
Dakota: "Like nothing. Like I finally got done what I needed to get done. Now it was over. Now I knew what to do when I got to do what I got to do."
Aside from one boyfriend, Dakota has never done that again in her personal life.
In her latest boobjob, Dakota got 700cc (100cc more than last time) implanted. She's moving from a 34D to a 34DD.
Luke: "Why did you go bigger?"
Dakota: "Because bigger is always better in this situation. I didn't get the high profile. I got moderate profile. It looks more natural.
"High profile implants are more up towards your chin. The moderate profile are more towards the center.
"Before any breast job, I was asymetric. One breast was a B-cup and the other one was a C.
"When I was ten, I asked my parents for a boob job.
"I've always liked the Pamela Anderson look -- the big boobs, blonde hair, tanned. If only I had blue eyes."
Luke: "Did it affect your personality when you got big breasts?"
Dakota: "I've always been a child of the wild."
Luke: "Do you think men should stop sexually objectifying women?"
Dakota: "No. This is normal. Have you ever been to Italy?"

Porn Star Farrah Caught in Countrywide Bank Scam
Jayson Romaine writes 2/15/06 for XBiz.com:
Last week she came up on the radar of police in Chatsworth when she was arrested for forging credit cards, as well as for methamphetamine possession.
Sandi Gibbons, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, told XBiz they believe Marquart was affiliated with a sizeable forging operation. According to Gibbons, Marquart was working with Peter Julius Joseph and George Martinez Grafil, who were discovered by local police last week in possession of credit-card forging equipment during a hotel raid in Chatsworth.
“Those are the charges,” Gibbons said. “Her bail is currently set at $70,000. I can’t say anything more than that at this time.”
Farrah could get 16 months in prison on the California charges, as well as three or more years in prison on the New Jersey charges.
I spoke to Farrah for 15-minutes on the phone February 3. She said she was not robbing banks nor involved in any credit card scams. She said she was going to turn herself in. She just wanted to make a little money first.
She was turned in to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office on Thursday, likely by her California bail bondsman, [Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Larry] Diamond said.
Marquart's plea deal in New Jersey called for a reduction in her maximum sentence of three years in prison if she could make restitution of at least $10,000.
Her attorney, Vinnie Basile, said Marquart, who had been living in the Bronx, had been struggling to raise money from friends and family.
Diamond said he's surprised she was offered such a deal. "Where do they think they're getting their restitution?" he said. "Don't ask for restitution from forgers."
Wankus of KSEXradio.com writes:
I'm not going to trash Dakota [Cameron] because she's always been very nice to me and a fun guest on KSEX but I have to completely disagree with her about Lisa Ann.
Lisa is not only a sweetheart but she's COMPLETELY organized. I've dealt with her on many occasions and find her reliable, trustworthy, dedicated to whatever area her career takes her and an absolute joy to be around. And GoTdAmN she still looks damn good!
Being engaged to Tyler Faith, I see this sort of "random hatred" a lot from some new girls in the business and it's a bottom line jealousy thing.
As I've stated many times on KSEXradio.com, there's a new breed of porn girl. Piss guts, cottage cheese and white trash persona. We can thank the xBox age for not only adding to the rounder waistlines but for DE-glamorizing the girls who were once viewed as taboo, but highly desired. Society has now accepted anyone who will open any hole on camera and label them porn stars.
Tyler and I both feel that girls need to EARN the name "Porn Star". If you're new to this business, even if you work for LA Direct and shoot 60 scenes in your first two months, you're NOT a porn star. You're a sex performer. If I get a decent role in an upcoming Michael Bay movie would you call me a Hollywood star? Absolutely not. You'd call me an actor. Maybe even say something like, "this guy is up and coming" but you wouldn't call me a STAR.
Unfortunately, today's porn is throwing the "STAR" label on everyone and in my opinion, it's very disrespectful to the FEW real stars--Lisa Ann included.
Among other things, I'm a videographer for Max. I've been with him for nearly 10 years. I'd have to estimate that footage shot by me is on about 55-60% of his videos from 1997-present. Its not fake.
Also, insults about his work, crew or fans is not productive conversation. Nor is it warranted.
The man remains a pioneer, and whether you like him and his style, or not, I guarantee you there are producers/performers you do like that follow in his wake; about 5-10 years behind him. Yes, it is a character. He starts to get into character around 30 minutes before a scene starts. There is a marked change in his attitude and even his face. He becomes a prick. Once you 'get it' you learn not to take it personally and ignore it and get the job done. You learn to not respond to it negatively because it affects his focus. Well, I do at least; his longtime photographer is utterly clueless of this and is regularly f---ing with the crew and Max while the scene is in play; he's a s--- disturber. Like any actor or producer, of any type, Max is somewhat of an eccentric.
I don't remember one [shoot] from the other. I mean, after a Max shoot, I usually go and shoot an alien autopsy or something just to ease back into reality.
Gordon writes on Holly's chatroom inside suze.net:
You are posting non-nude material. Old pics posted as uncut. Material as bloopers. It seems you are having a hard time finding premium models as you have in the past. Penthouse models, Playmate models and if you do, we get to see the pics that you don't sell to the mags. I was glad to find pics of models I hadn't seen like Bobbie Brown, Allison Sterling, Shauna Grant, Lydia Schone, Elizabeth Hildon, to name a few. As of lately I look at the new post page and don't look much more. You don't seem to be finding the better models as you have in the past.
Holly Randall replies:
We post 7 times a week. On Saturdays-- that is uncut/softcore/classic shoots. I cannot believe you are complaining. Would you like to mention to me one site who gives the amount of quality photographic content than we do? If you don't like the newer models than you are a classics kind of guy and I can't re-create the 80s for you. And yes, you are wrong. If you think that Aria, Stormy, Justine, Celeste, Codi, and all the beautiful new girls that we've brought in aren't your type, then I don't know what to tell you. Those kinds of fresh new faces are what we are promoting, not the older models who are no longer working.
East European & Russian Slave Girls
Lausvip writes on suze.net: "Am I indirectly paying for the abduction forced labor sex trade? Do you have any active preventative programs that you can tell me about?"
Hammer of the Gods writes:
The simple answer is no. You are far more likely to be supporting sexual slavery if you frequent fleabag brothels in Turkey, Thailand or maybe even in rundown parts of American cities.
I find it virtually impossible to believe that a woman from the Ukraine or some other former Soviet bloc country has been brought to the United States against her will and forced to pose for photos on suze.net. This is far too "high end" to be involved in such nefarious activities. Not to be too blunt, but the women just wouldn't look so good if they were victims of such evil.
The one question I've had is whether women from former Soviet bloc countries are so hungry for opportunity that they are far more receptive to posing nude or becoming involved in what most people consider to be pornography. I consider that to be their choice, one that economic pressures certainly contributed to, but still a choice they have made on their own.
Sexual slavery and the exploitation of women is a global issue. I've had people argue with me that pornography is inherently degrading/abusive/exploitive of women. I personally don't believe that is the case. In find it to be about fantasy, eroticism and titillation. But that doesn't mean we should ignore well-documented cases where women are abducted, beaten and forced to work as prostitutes, serving a clientele that doesn't care about their plight.
Holly Randall responds: "Why the hell would you think that? Forced labor sex trade? I think you've been watching too much "A Current Affair." You're talking about something entirely different."
Hey, I worked for that show. I talked about snuff films and the use of cell phone for naughty purposes.
Lausivicp writes: "I watched [PBS show Frontline]. Does "You're talking about something entirely different" mean that you don't use independent contractors?"
Holly replies: "Either the girls come to us through a reputable American agency or they personally contact us because they love our work. Because of the new 2257 law, we shoot very few foreign girls."
Lukeisback posts: "I've been to Holly's house and she keeps a dozen hot Russian slave girls in her basement. What can I say? She's an edgy girl."
An Immodest Proposal
Helpful writes:
Death does not necessarily have to end a porn starlet's career.
Do you think that a funerary bukkake is something that the average raincoater would enjoy? It could be win/win. Most of these chicks die without two nickels to their name and a cheapy funeral must run $10,000 minimum.
How about a production team foots the entire funeral and the family and friends get a proper send off for the dearly departed and then after they leave 60 plus bereaved and horny fans jerk off on the deceased visage.
After all, how many Vivid girls when approached about a bukkake responded: "Over my dead body!"?
JMT writes: "Given proper embalming, the deceased could actually be sent on a multi-city postmortem bukkake tour before interment, or even, in cases of exceptional popularity, preserved in state for ad hoc bukkake sessions for all eternity (picture Stalin's Tomb, but with disgusting naked masturbating men). Shauna Grant's remains could still be generating a revenue stream for her bereaved family, had only they shown the requisite foresight."
Ericka Lockett, Dakota Cameron Interviews
Smiling Arab writes on XPT about my Ericka interview:
That whole interview rocked. I want to pound the entire front of lukeisback right now like celebate priest left alone with a slab of ground beef and share a cigarette afterward. I especially liked this part:
In a conservative state like Utah, they wanted me to convert to their religion and my being Jewish was a big issue. Our people are different.
"Our people." I think this is the first time ever that a Jew ever used this phrase around Luke.
Luke must hang up the phone after these things, turn the tape recorder off and open an album of his own photos as a small boy and weep as he touches the photographs with his fingertips. Either that or he just laughs and pounds down a stiff asparagus smoothie.
Cindy Crawford Vs. Smelly Monkey
Cindy writes on XPT: "I don't remember it EVER being against any industry policies to show up to set with a full panel test from a clinic other than AIM, So what was your point?"
Smelly Monkey replies:
That's true but it is against showing up with a test signed by Chippy the Irish Midget, MC at the Crazy Horse, along with a note from him saying "Yo dis bitch is clean, i f--ked her myself , my dick still workin, shot the damn scene, peace chip, monday-friday after 12, check it."
Tara writes:
Northstar Associates celebrated the release of their new film, Grub Girl, with an autograph signing at West Hollywood Tower Video featuring Brittney Skye (who plays the title role of 'Grub Girl'), Eva Evangelina, Craven Moorehead, and Glen Danzig, who is the publisher of the Grub Girl comic book that will accompany the film release. Fans were treated to a free Grub Girl t-shirt with the purchase of the Grub Girl DVD. As an added bonus, fans were able to show their purchase receipts at the Grub Girl premiere party held at the world famous Whiskey A Go Go to obtain a $3.00 discount off the $13.00 entrance fee.
The trailer for Grub Girl can be viewed at the North Star Associates website, click here. Grub Girl tells the story of a Zombie hooker who comes back from the dead to seek justice and revenge. A scintillating plot, hot sex, and great music from Glenn Danzig and other underground bands make this movie a must see! Eva Angelina, Kurt Lockwood, Charmane Star, Brittany Skye, Teanna Kai, and Tony T star in this unforgettable film. Grub Girl is available at AdultDVDEmpire, click here.
The Village Voice, Tristan Taormino and Kimberly Kane
Cristobal Senior writes:
To the Editor:
In her V V article of 1/20/06, Tristan Taormino undertakes a defense of the Porn film business by using the fallacious technique of arbitrarily setting up straw men to beat then at will later.
For instance, without bringing any supporting evidence, she claims that "anti porn feminists" central point is that of porn "depicting sexual submissiveness and dumb blondes".Although the actual criticism of feminists scholars is much deeper and complex than this simplistic caricature contrived by Ms Taormino, let us assume it is true and see where does it take us.
To "refute" the supposedly feminist argument, she helps herself with the use of another dubious method, the self-report. And to compound the crime she utilizes, amazingly so, a sample of one, in the form of some casual interview she had with porn star Kimberly Kane in a Las Vegas industry fair. In this interview, offered as proof of independence and self enjoyment by porn stars, Ms Kane solemnly declares:"I love my job. I am making sure I am healthy and smart and happy and doing what I want to do, when the f--- I want to do it." "If you want to call that feminist, well then watch me burn my bra," she says defiantly.
But let's see if Ms Kane's claim stands to a test. I the course of researching this topic, I found Ms Taormino's article in a web site called ADULTFYI. Now, in the same site there is another post on Ms. Kane entitled: Kimberly Kane Paying the Price: She Can't Get Work. It turns out, that wisely so, Ms Kane has refused to perform on camera without the use of condoms. But as a result, her offer of jobs has dried out to a trickle and now the girl who "does what the f--- she wants to do", announces contritely that she is "reversing her decision." Very smartly as well, Ms Kane has refused to perform anal intercourse, but this decision has also led to a scarcity of work which has led her to reconsider and now she tells us: "I"ll probably be doing anal." Sad to hear this because anal sex continues to be the major conduit for the sexual transmission of Aids.
In this respect, Ms Taormino's book "A guide to Anal Sex for Women" is one of the worst contributions ever made to the women's cause. But Ms Kane self-contradictions on her supposed industry independence do not end here. In another industry web site [Lukeisback.com], it is announced, in a post dated July 13/05, that the head of Hustler Studios, Marc Kramer, has sent a circular to all his directors ordering them not to hire Ms Kane which sent her immediately into panic. It is not clear exactly what motivated his action but the industry is notorious for its directors and producers to demand personal favors from the stars. This is another hole punched on Ms Kane's argument that she does "what the f--- she wants to do" in the business. Summing up, Ms Taormino's piece is an amazing exercise in fallacious and disingenuous reasoning designed to fool the incautious. One wishes that she had bothered to take a course in Methodology and Logic while in college because her disregard for the concepts of evidence, proof and verification is truly shocking.
Porn Thief
V writes about a male porn performer: "Ben is a thief. he was on one shoot and when he left an $$ set of sunglasses was missing. he shot for the same company again and when he left the set an $$ digital camera was missing. this is just a warning to anyone who hires him. don't let him out of your sight!"
Kami writes: "I was on a set and I had $200 cash stolen and 100 pills (50 percocet and 50 vicoden) the person even stole my prescripion bottle!"
Dissing Lisa Ann
I call Lisa Ann about the following but can't get through to her nor can I leave a message. I email LADirectModels.com. No response.
5:38 pm. Phone rings. "This is Dakota Cameron. I'm with LA Direct Models. I have some gossip for you."
Luke: "Great."
Dakota laughs. "First off. The last time I met you, I was Dakota Dare. We went out to lunch. I thought you were really funny. I followed what you wrote a year ago. I had to feed you some news.
"I went in LA Direct's office today. I just got my boob's redone. Everyone was a lot happier in the office.
"I had refused to go back into Derek's office since Lisa Ann started working there.
"I go into Derek's office and Lisa Ann's not there.
"Lisa Ann has booked me on numerous shoots and when I get to the shoot, the pay is wrong, the wardrobe is wrong, what we're doing there is not supposed to be really happening there. She seems to be having a lot of problems with directors and producers etc.
"Derek knows how to make money. He does everything organized. All the girls are on time. Everything is correct.
"Lisa Ann is made of plastic, like we're all not anyway?
"Uh oh, I'm going to start talking s---."
Luke: "Keep going."
Dakota: "I'm not saying she's ever done anything directly wrong to me. She's a back-stabber.
"I wanted to get this out there. I can't pretend to be nice to anybody. Yeah, I'm made of plastic. I have extensions. I have fake boobs. But I'm not made of bulls---."
Dakota rants about Lisa Ann. She accuses her of promiscuity with the talent.
Dakota: "Oh no, this is really bad."
Luke: "Oh no. This is great."
Dakota: "I had a cold sore on my lip at a shoot for Tabitha Stevens. One of the girls said, we have to let [LADM] know that you have a cold sore and that you can't go to work tomorrow.
"They let Derek know. As professional as he is, he said, ok, no problem. We won't book you for the shoot tomorrow.
"Lisa Ann calls me after it was already taken care of with Derek and asks me to come into the office. Lisa Ann goes behind people's backs and says, oh, I bet she really doesn't have one.
"I showed up at that office with my cold sore.
"I'm useful and honest and she's old and needs to get out of this industry. Is it true she's getting $10,000 for her first anal?
"I got into porn in March last year. I got out. I got my boobs done Sept 22. I signed up with Derek on Sept 3. I was out of the business for two months because of my boobs. Then I worked for a month. Now I'm out again because I just got them redone. I've lost some weight and gained some muscle."
Dakota's done about 30 movies. "I'm just a straight hustler and I love money. I love being on films. When you put money, sex and film into one it's like my high from weed, because I'm a total pothead.
"Many of the people in porn are more genuine than the people you meet on the street. We've been through things.
"I'm from the Valley. We all make about the same amount of money. We go home with the same thing. There is no reason for any of us to go (and Dakota puts on her Lisa Ann high-pitched voice): 'Ohmigod, I'm Lisa Ann. I'm famous. I've had so many contracts.'
"I don't have sex off-camera but I just fell in love with my plastic surgeon.
"I don't believe in love."
Luke: "Have you been made cynical by life?"
Dakota: "What's 'cynical'? Is that a church or something?"
Luke: "No. It just means skeptical."
Dakota: "I guess I have one advantage in being blonde, that I don't have to be smart. I'm more street-smart than book-smart. But I still don't know what that word means.
"I went to El Camino High School in Woodland Hills. I hung out with the people who went to parties and pulled lots of pranks. I hung out with hot girls. People thought they were porn stars. All of us looked like we'd done porn our entire lives."
Luke: "What do you look for in a man?"
Dakota: "I like gangsters. I like bad-asses."
Luke: "You like black guys?"
Dakota: "No."
Luke: "Why don't you do interracial?"
Dakota: "You're a bad-ass.
"They're too big for me.
"No comment."
I found Dakota's political manifesto on MySpace:

Dakota: "I don't like phones. Phones are the biggest burn."
Luke: "How does your family react to your doing porn?"
Dakota: "My mom says, 'I'm not shocked with anything you do anymore.' My dad is not happy. I grew up in the Valley so I always had porn in my house.
"When I was 18, I went to Club Excess for Jill Kelly's birthday party. People kept asking me to get into porn. I thought they were crazy. I had people calling me for months after. I didn't get it. I wasn't there yet but everything happens for a reason."
Luke: "Do you think God directed you into porn?"
Dakota: "Yeah. God loves porn stars too.
"You're Jewish. I know the whole Jewish alphabet."
She sings it out and then does some blessings in Hebrew. "I grew up in the Valley. This Valley is full of Jewish people. When I was younger, I wanted to be Jewish. My parents were raising me Catholic but I would watch Barney and learn the Hebrew alphabet. I must've been to 15 Bar and Bat Mitzvahs."
Luke: "Have you ever considered converting to Judaism?"
Dakota: "When I was in seventh grade.
"I have yet to meet one person who is in porn and is Jewish. The Jewish people own the companies. But I think that Jewish parents have a very good way about raising their kids. Honest to God. Italians and Jews get along."
Here are Dakota's rules for men:
If i flirt with you, thats all i am doing... flirting. 1. Please do not talk to my tits, you won't be meeting them. 2. If you want to control someone, SLEEP WITH YOUR REMOTE! 3. I always choose chocolate over men, ALWAYS. 4. My sexual preference is NO! 5. Its not the size that counts, it's..no, wait, size does count! 6. Remeber that your horny piece of s--- girls, are made of sugar and spice and everything nice. 7. Men are like hardwood floors, lay them right the first time and you can walk all over them FOREVER! 8. Save your breath for your inflatable date.
Dakota: "I'm not easy. People get the wrong idea that porn stars are easy. Before I got into porn, I didn't have sex for a year. I have not had a personal sex life since I've been in porn.
"I told Derek, 'For the next two years, I'm not having a relationship. I haven't had one for the past two anyway.'
"I've only had one boyfriend. He cheated on me. I learned my lesson. He was like my best friend. It was like putting your trust in one person and having that person cheat on you and then denying it to your face. It took putting a twelve gauge to his dick [for him] to admit it."
Luke: "Do you like guns?"
Dakota: "No."
Luke: "I want to do Dr. Phil with you and Lisa Ann. Let's threeway this conversation."
Dakota's down with it but I back off.
Luke: "What do you think of Derek?"
Dakota: "Derek's the boss. I love money. Derek loves money. That's why I get along with Derek so well."
She says she doesn't want to be in porn past 25. "I don't want to be 33 and proud of having done 853 movies. Wow, you must be loose you goose. Gross."
Dakota says she doesn't do drugs or drink alcohol. "I used to work at the Betty Ford Center, which is why I quit porn. I was a chemical dependency technician. They suspended me on my second week for sexual harassment.
"I was training on swingshift. I was the youngest person working there. On the fourth night, I had to cover for somebody. There was an older black guy. He asked me to go out to dinner with him. This guy looked so disgusting. He was fifty-something-years-old.
"I said, 'I'd rather go to a stripclub and pick up dollar bills with girls then go out with you.' I was reported for saying that and suspended for a week.
"You want to know why I was fired when I was 16 from Chick's Sporting Goods? I photocopied my boobs and passed them out to everybody."
Luke: "What do you do in your spare time?"
Dakota: "I smoke weed. I hang out on MySpace. I color in my gangster rap coloring book.
"They won't update my new pictures on LA Direct because Lisa Ann is a bitch."
Luke: "Have you lost any friends over your entrance into porn?"
Dakota: "Yeah. Growing up in the Valley, for people who have lived here their whole life, porn is the worst thing you can do. People look at me in a different way.
"Does everything I say get printed on your thing?"
Luke: "Ahh."
Dakota: "There are only two things I don't want."
Luke: "OK."
Four hours later, Dakota emails me: "Good stuff! I love it. You're the funniest person alive, you make even nothing into something and can make something into nothing. That's some true magic!"
Jane emails me: "I hope Dakota realizes she doesn't have a job with LA Direct tomorrow. Was she drunk when she gave the interview? To talk s--- about Lisa Ann, the one who is Derek's right hand woman, the only one who can really help him keep such a huge business venture together? What AN IDIOT. She makes fun of Lisa for being a star? Um, that's because Lisa WAS a star-- and still is. She was a famous figure from the late 90s and her comeback excited a lot of people. I don't think the same amount of excitement surrounds Dakota. In fact, I'd never heard of her before this. I can't wait to see how s--- hits the fan after everyone at LA Direct finds out. Too bad she's nothing special either. Just another dumb girl who has nothing to say but talk s--- about the people who are getting her the limited amount of work she's going to be able to get. In the church of "cynical," Dakota is an idiot. And another one goes down the drain... goodbye sweetheart!"

Dakota Dare Dakota Dare Dakota Dakota Rusty Nails Lisa Marie, Jim South Lisa Marie Lisa Marie Gang walk down Van Nuys Blvd Dakota, Jim Sr Jim Sr imitates Michael Jackson's moon walk while Dakota watches with admiration
Dakota Dare (Randi Wright's good friend), 20, says she has been with only two men in her life. She's not counting the boys and girls she was with when she was passed out on drugs or alcohol.
Dakota entered porn at age 18. She went to Meatholes. The guy paid her to spit in his face. She was so appalled she left the industry for two years.
She says she needs to lose 20 pounds. She won't eat anything for lunch.
T.T. Boy told Dakota Dare that he was half-black. He's not. He's half Puerto Rican.
Dakota doesn't work with black guys.
Dakota says she was saving herself until she hooked up with a guy with white pubes when she was 17.
Dan Beck's Out $2,400
He spent that money flying himself and his crew to the Nightmoves show in Tampa Bay. He says he made a deal with the publisher Paul Allen to shoot behind-the-scenes for Dan's satellite porn channels. Dan says he never got the talent releases from Paul so he could show the footage.
Larry Flynt on the Danish Cartoons
I spoke with the Hustler publisher by phone today. You’ll recall that Flynt was the key figure in a good many free speech battles, including a defamation suit from the Rev. Jerry Falwell.
What do you think of the situation of the Danish cartoons?
Larry Flynt: "It’s scary, to say the least. Freedom of speech is involved in this, and I’ve always been an absolutist when it comes to free speech, even in countries that don’t have it. I don’t think you’re really free unless you do have freedom of speech and freedom of religion and civil liberties. If you pull any one of those out, it’s like a domino effect. I can understand why a lot of people are afraid, but if they thought a little harder about the issues themselves and asked if they wanted to live in a country of tyranny I don’t think anyone would. I think Americans are just reacting without thinking."
Holly Randall: 'Only porn stars love me on Valentine's Day'
Holly IMs me: "Derrick Pierce sent me a Happy Valentine's Day text message, and Mick Blue brought me a single red rose, chocolates, and some body spray from Victoria's Secret."
Jane writes me: "What did you get Holly?"
Nothing.
"Couldn't you spend $5 on some flowers for her? I can't believe you're that cheap! For shame, you give love a bad name!"
I've always done something for my girl on Valentine's. Holly is not my
girl. Check her MySpace page.
It says "single." She's single. She's ready to mingle. Nothing
makes her more excited than an email from a stranger with a picture of
his cock.
HollyRandall: u ok?
Luke: yes, i've just been feeling a bit queasy the past few days
HollyRandall: that's odd
HollyRandall: are you pregnant?
Luke: I think so, I did not want to tell you.
HollyRandall: i thought it was odd that you were craving pickles and ice
cream
Tough Times At Dane Productions?
I heard sales have been down. Their publicist David Woodman (was at AVN for three months) was laid off after a week. Dane's staff is down to three.
Dane is owned by Edward Cohen of Orange County who's out of the office this week because of medical issues.
Bob B, Vice-President at Dane, responds:
Our new release business has never been better, and our Catalog offerings are up to 170, and growing.
David Woodman was never our publicist, he was hired on a trial basis, and Let go due to the fact there was nothing he could do for us that was not already being done.
Furthermore, Ed Cohen is Not in the hospital this week, but is undergoing routine tests that all men undergo when we get to a certain age, and since se lives in Orange County, I persuaded him to take a few days off and rest, as he has had a virus since the AVN show in January, and cannot shake it.
Whoever wrote this is angry and totally wrong. Dane had a great January, with an increase of Over 30 per cent compared to 2005, and we are already past last February, and this is only the 14th.
One thing about me, and those that know me know I will not lie, this is a viscous lie perpetrated by someone who has an ax to grind.
Dane is fine, with sales above last year, and by the way, we have 5 employees, and are still looking for office help. And you can put that in the bank.
Me and my bitches Emmanuelle and Cathy before I throw down and make it real, know what I'm saying? Short movie masterpiece: Dude, where's my Levitra? Movie: Ericka Lockett Ericka Ericka Ericka
I follow Ericka into World Modeling at 10:15 a.m. Tuesday. Jim Jr and Sr have both had the flu.
Jim South tells Ericka he had work for her but he had no way of getting a hold of her.
She's been hanging out at World Modeling for most of the past week.
She chats with Jim about giving Brandon Iron a blowjob in his van in the parking lot last night across the street from Jim's office. They noticed Jim's lights on. Brandon laughingly suggested they come inside and use one of Jim's rooms for their business but Ericka nixed it.
Jim and Brandon don't do business. Jim believes Brandon owes him agency fees.
Irons is the only porn person Ericka has stayed in touch with for the past five years.
Ericka says she signed up with World Modeling in 1997 and did porn for two years straight, appearing in about "500 movies."
Luke: "What brought you back?"
Ericka: "I got shot at in the middle of November. Then I went to Utah to get away and hide. I cut my hair and dyed it back to my original color. People still recognized me."
Luke: "So how did that bring you back to porn?"
Ericka: "Because I didn't feel safe and I got tired of being treated like a freak."
Luke: "Who shot at you?"
Ericka: "I'm thinking an ex-psycho boyfriend. We don't know. My car got shot out. I was in it.
"It was a nice day. I was on my way to go to school and to do my stuff with ceramics. I remember I had left the door open because it was hot. Then you start your car up and then you turn the air on. When I went to start the car up, the window crashed and there was a [bullet] hole [the bullet missed her by about a foot]. It was scary.
"I talked to my friends at school and they were shocked. I went to work that night [at a strip club], and the night manager said, 'You must've done it yourself. You must've taken a baseball bat to it.' I said, 'Na ah.'
"Then I got sick to my stomach. I went home. I called a friend who said I should stay in a hotel room. I did.
"I went to the police the next day. They told me to leave the state. 'You'll fit in.' I'm Jewish. I didn't fit in. And then the porn business followed me."
Luke: "How did the porn business follow you?"
Ericka: "Because they recognized me. In Vegas, people aren't conservative. They're liberal and open-minded. They don't care. They ask questions after they get to know you. They'll ask supportive questions, not mean questions, not negative questions, not judgmental questions. After a while, you'll start talking to them and it'll bring up memories of something [in porn]. My friends at UNLV (University of Nevada at Las Vegas) were cool. I could talk to them about anything. But in Utah they were judgmental. I was in Utah from mid-November until a week ago [when she moved to LA and returned to porn through World Modeling]."
Luke: "What's it like coming back into the porn industry?"
Ericka: "It's great. My attitude's different this time. I don't care about being a star anymore. I've already had the fame. I will go to nightschool and then UCLA grad school. I will stick with my art friends. They're more open to me and accepting. Yeah, they ask questions but they're not judgmental."
Luke: "Why did you get into porn?"
Ericka: "I was on the cover of Hustler's Busty Beauties. I wanted to become a feature [stripper]. I found out that featuring wasn't what it was cracked up to be. Then I went back to dance in Vegas and I made a lot of money there and I had a bunch of problems.
"On Halloween night, at 11:30, I had two black guys come to my door in Halloween masks. And none of my friends would come to my door without callling especially when I had a pilates class at 8:30 a.m.
"A week before, I had someone call me up and say, 'I need help.' But they disguised their voice.
"I had a Mexican guy try to get into my house. He acted like he wanted to clean it for bugs. He tried to open my door. I opened and was like, 'Can I help you?' He said, 'I'm here to kill your bugs.' I said, 'I don't have any. You're not coming in.' And I shut the door in his face.
"Another time I left the club and I got harassed by a bunch of black guys on the way home.
"There were a whole bunch of little things that you just didn't think of at the time... I was walking down the street and this black guy said to me, 'You better learn to keep your mouth shut.'"
Luke: "What was he referring to?"
Ericka: "Hell if I know."
Luke: "How has being a porn star affected your life?"
Ericka: "I don't know. In a conservative state like Utah, they wanted me to convert to their religion and my being Jewish was a big issue. Our people are different. I got really Jewish over the past four years because I've been at UNLV. They have Hillel and a Chabad. I joined. At SUU (Southern University of Utah), they didn't have that. They claim it's a great college but it's conservative and close-minded.
"UNLV is open. The teachers are awesome. You can talk to them if you have a problem. I was going to get an Incomplete for Art History, but I worked my ass off and they worked with me. It made feel like a little kid. Everyone was proud of me."
Luke: "How did your family and friends react to your doing porn?"
Ericka: "My family disowned me. Then I found out that my biological father, who works at Crazy Horse Too [in Las Vegas], used to do porn too. He worked with Ginger Lynn."
Ericka says she never asked him for his stage name.
Luke: "Was your mother a stripper?"
Ericka: "No. She didn't like sex."
Luke: "When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?"
Ericka: "A veterinarian."
She grew up in rural Michigan.
Luke: "What kind of crowd did you hang out with in highschool?"
Ericka: "Potheads. I didn't really smoke weed. I just wanted to be accepted."
Ericka's had two breasts jobs (1993, 1996). She went from an A-cup to 34DD. "I like 'em. My ex-boyfriend from Israel who went to UNLV, he didn't know they were fake.
"He moved to New York.
"I always wanted to go to university. My stepfather and half-brother said I'd never make it, but I did and I excelled. It's my dream to graduate [a year to go to get her BFA]. After I pay off my loans, I'll go online and get my own management degree as well through the Davenport School of Business. I want to get my masters in Art."
Luke: "How did your Israeli boyfriend handle your having been a porn star?"
Ericka: "He didn't care. He thought Americans were stupid. He didn't understand how strippers could make money because in Israel they have topless and nude beaches."
Luke: "How has being a porn star and a stripper affected relationships?"
Ericka: "It's hard to date. I don't think now I'll date somebody outside the business, unless it's a woman. You're a freak to people."
Luke: "What are the joys and tribulations of dating someone within the business?"
Ericka: "They understand. Brandon won't have sex with me because he has to do movies all week. I'm sure that if I were in the same situation, he'd be sympathetic and understanding."
Luke: "What do you love and hate about the porn industry?"
Ericka: "I hate the instability because I am so anal-retentive to my schedule. I always know where I'm going to be. That's why I have stalker problems."
Luke: "How many times have you had stalker problems?"
Ericka: "At least three times that I am aware of. My one boyfriend I had was really crazy. He shot three girls and killed two of them."
Luke: "What do you get attracted to dangerous men?"
Ericka: "He was an ex-football player. I was attracted to the glamor and glitz.
"He was retired for 13-years. He was broke. I didn't know it. He lived off me. I got rid of him. I got attached to his little boy.
"The police said he did steroids. That made him crazy."
Luke: "What type of men are you attracted to?"
Ericka: "I used to be attracted to big bulky muscular men but now I just like little skinny guys."
Luke: "How are you adjusting to LA?"
Ericka: "I'm not looking over my shoulder anymore. I don't feel like a freak here. I need to find a place to live. I know there are temples here. I might start working in a coffee shop. Even if I don't work there, I'll still hang out there because the girls are rad."
Luke: "What kind of role does Judaism play in your life?"
Ericka: "It just gives me healing. I was in the hospital in October. I couldn't take it anymore so I shot myself in the neck."
She shows me the marks on her neck where the bullet entered and left. "It destroyed two vertebrate.
"I couldn't take it anymore. I snapped. I was in the hospital for five days."
Luke: "What did you conclude after that?"
Ericka's about to cry. "I've been shot three times [she was only hit when she shot herself]."
Luke: "What were you going through before you shot yourself?"
Ericka: "I was working for my dad's club and they were pushing me to date somebody and they gave me a day shift [because she would not date the guy]. Then they wouldn't let me dance for certain people. I had gone through so much pain from dating and being a freak. I wanted a relationship and couldn't get one. I was taking 18-credits and I wanted to get straight-As. And I was being harassed. I didn't tell anybody."
Luke: "You didn't have a support system?"
Ericka: "No. I kept it to myself, because when I was stalked by that first guy [ex-NFL player], they didn't do anything. They didn't care until it was too late.
"I was raped. I never dealt with that either. I was raped [by the NFL guy] in August 2001. I didn't report it to the police. He stalked me for six months. I was terrified of him. He would follow me home from work. I'd go half-an-hour of my way before I'd go home."
Luke: "Why did you stay in Vegas?"
Ericka: "Because of UNLV. I had a nice place to live. I had friends."
Luke: "What's your relationship like with your mother?"
Ericka: "She died [in 2001]."
Luke: "What's your relationship like with your biological father?"
Ericka: "I haven't talked to him. I wrote him a letter. I want a relationship with him because I think he'd understand. If I go to court for the shooting [of her car], I want him there."
Luke: "Your stepfather?"
Ericka: "I haven't talked to him in years. He molested me when I was a kid, from the time I was two until I was 17."
Luke: "Did your mother know what was going on?"
Ericka: "Yeah. She saw it and she didn't do anything.
"My aunt was molested by him. But a lot of people are molested. Welcome to America."
Luke: "Did you and your stepfather ever talk about it?"
Ericka: "I called him about eight years ago. He said, 'My [new] wife doesn't understand the relationship I had with you.' I said, 'You're a freak.' I hung up. That was the last time I spoke to him.
"I went to therapy and support groups."
Luke: "Did you have a horrible childhood?"
Ericka: "Other than that? No. We lived in a middle-class neighborhood. I was raised on a farm in Planesburg, Michigan."
Luke: "As a kid, how did you deal with being molested?"
Ericka: "You don't know it is bad until someone tells you it is bad. He worked hard so we hardly saw him anyways."
Luke: "What stopped the molestation?"
Ericka: "When I moved out."
Luke: "Did it affect your relationships with men?"
Ericka: "No. I had counselling a long time ago. I took a lot of psychology classes."
Luke: "When you look back on your life, what makes you happiest?"
Ericka: "UNLV. My favorite teacher is Mark Burns and Bob Watson. If I were to ever marry somebody, I would like them to be that. Bob graduated from Yale and Cal. He was open-minded. His wife had surgery and he cared so much about her. He made her go to college. He didn't mind that she went to college."
Was There Something I Could've Done?
I'm sitting and thinking about the state of porn, but mostly about the girls in porn. I'm hit with a deep and painful sadness. Stars destined to shine bright using the darkest stage yet still optimistic that the light will burst so bright that nothing will stand in their way. I feel pain because I know how the story ends. I want them to succeed not suckseed. I want them to burn bright, so bright, so full of joy for life and money. Yet the stage's dim lights always turn off and the curtain always falls, another notch on its post, another rung in its belt. Yet I still feel the need to help but fall back on the "but I'm only one man." Could I have saved Chloe Jones? Or Anna Malle? Chris Penn? If I did this or that, would they be alive, if I didn't do this or that would Vicky Vette's husband be with us today, its like a puzzle, once you put the pieces together it paints a clearer picture.
I'm sending out my unconditional love to all the girls in the industry except Gen Padova and Cindy Crawford, not in an ac cream "how about I come over thursday with a pizza and we watch some movies" way. I'm doing it from my heart, I'm not expecting or wanting anything in return, just letting you know the Monkey is with you every second you are on set, doing something you don't want to or in some cases do want to but not with the person you are currently doing it with. I see the innocence in these girls, they are good people underneath the mountains of make up and man fluids, I wish you girls joy and happiness and promise I will not rest (except for Sundays) until we get Max where he belongs, San Quentin general population.
Remembering Anna Malle
Like every other porn afficionado, I go through phases. I'm currently in the midst of my Justine Joli phase. I think it started with a Nina Hartley phase?...but you never really get over the Nina phase. In any case, somewhere back between Jeanna Fine and Sydnee Steele, I went through a severe bout of Anna Malle fever. Never having met Anna, I can't pretend to have any insight into the kind of person she was. She apparently struggled with more than her share of personal demons, but all I and her legions of fans saw was what she put on screen... and that was electric. She brought ferocious passion and energy to every scene. And when she was on camera, it was pretty damn hard to see anyone else. Death seems impossible for anyone with that much life in them. But there may be some truth to the cliche; the light that burns twice as bright, burns half as long...
My Secret Shame
Late at night, in the quiet seclusion of my study, shielded from the prying eyes of those who would judge me... I put on my headphones... and turn up the volume.
As Steve Lukather's plaintive guitar solo reaches a crescendo on "I Won't Hold You Back", I stare wistfully at my copy of "Toto IV"... My joy tempered by the pangs of guilt that haunt me. Yes, I like early 80's AOR/Melodic Rock.
Don't you look at me like that! Who are YOU to judge ME?! What man, woman, or child could turn a deaf ear to the heartfelt, soulful crooning of Steve Perry or Dennis DeYoung? Are you so jaded, that REO Speedwagon's "I Can't Fight This Feeling" leaves you feeling... nothing? Has the hard road of life left you so callous, that even Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is", is unable to stir the cold, dead void that was once your heart?!
Well I refuse to appologize for not being numb to the yearning of Mike Reno's "Almost Paradise"!... or Journey's "Faithfully"! No!... No, it is NOT commercial dreck! Have you even HEARD Phil Collins sing "Against All Odds"?!! You heartless, unfeeling bastard! I was gonna let you wear my Night Ranger t-shirt... but now you can kiss my ass!
Former $2000-a-night stripper Heather Veitch, now a born-again Christian, tells Gaby Wood why she's bringing the gospel to the 'adult industry.'
Porn Star Escort Inflation
Fast Eddie writes on Fun With PSEs:
That's the problem with agencies... they've artificially inflated the value of the PSEs... Six years ago, I saw Ryan Conner for $800 and that was the agency rates through the old Adult Star Fantasy - They charged different rates in different cities - Ryan got a minimum of $600 plus a percentage of the "overage" in cities that could justify a higher rate.
Adult Star Fantasies also had a VIP section and you could see some VERY big name pornstars like Lexus Locklear for $5000 to $6000 for a four hour date minimum. But after ASF self-destructed, E2K got big and basically established the $1500/hr benchmark, with the girl getting $900 and the agency getting $600. Keep in mind that whatever laws E2K broke, they didn't f--- with the IRS, so all the girls got 1099's, which meant that they really ended up netting about $650 or so per hour. So a lot of the girls wised up and started booking direct - eliminating the middle man and at the same time the tax paper trail. But greed, ego or both got the better of the newly independent PSE... E2K established what the hobbyist was willing to pay, and apparently that's around the $1500 level, so that's what the PSE is asking.
And say what you want about Robert Holiday when he owned Body Miracle, but he wasn't too greedy... he asked the PSE what minimum she'd be satisfied with, and he tacked on $500. Sophie's and XXXVixxons, both former BM phone girls, undercut Robert and only tacked on $350. But the new owner of BM is taking the E2K route, and they seem to be oblivious to their PSE's credentials... most all of their girls are $1500 or more. Just plain stupid! A friend of mine in the adult industry really enlightened me... he told me that a PSE he knew told him outright that she realized that her value on the East Coast was triple her value in LA... a LOT of the ladies who quote rates of $1500 or more per hour can be had in LA for 1/3 that. So remember, when a PSE quotes you $1500/hr or more... JUST SAY NO!!!!
A girl who books through an agnecy like BM at $1500/hr. gets a maximum of $900. But the agencies aren't stupid and they don't want any problems from the IRS, so they 1099 the girls, which means that the PSEs end up netting about $600 or so (if they're smart enough to pay their income taxes). That's the benchmark I use these days. Granted, if the girl is touring as an independent she incurs more of the costs (hotel, airfare, verification and/or a booking assistant, etc.), and deserves to add something to that rate as compensation. So for most PSEs, I think $700 to $800 is reasonable. But $1K?
Listen, I can see Sars Jay, Kathy Willets or Ava Devine for that and I know that they're going to rock my world, and none of them know how to tell time... there's no such thing as an hour date with Kathy, Sara or Ava (unless you're a complete dick). So why would I be willing to pay more?
I mean, if it was for someone like Brittany Sky or Devon, or a Vivid Girl, of course that's a different story, but why would I pay $1K for either a PSE who's made a total of two videos or a 35 year old PSE who hasn't made a porn vid in six years? Hell, Stevie was available for $750 an hour, and in my opinion she's one of the most beautiful women I've ever known, and great in bed to boot! I don't want this to come across as cruel or cynical, but the facts are the facts.
When I first started out in this hobby I was like a kid in a candy store... girls like Taylor Wayne, Keisha, Tracey Adams, Kelly Jaye, Farrah, et. al. were women I had fantasized about for years, and being the newbie that I was, I paid the agency prices. But now, I've met all of the "girls of my dreams"... hell, I've even dated a few of them; so I just won't pay four figures to meet someone these days. And if you look at my reviews on TER, you'll see that I've only seen two new (to me) PSEs in over a year... Loni Mallory and Ava Devine. These days I'm more than content to see the girls I know will rock my world (like Loni, Ava, Sara, Kathy, Stevie, etc.). I just save my money for when they're going to be in town.
The truth be known, many of the girls, including some of the "big name" PSEs that command that $1500 when they tour, are more than willing to accept $500 - $600 in LA. This isn't speculation on my part; it's a simple fact. But then there are those who let their ego get the better of them... A perfect example is Jodie Moore... very hot, great reviews, and a Private Video contract girl. She was available in LA for $650/hr until she hooked up with Body Miracle... Her looks and performance made her one of the most sought after PSEs out there, so suddenly to book her directly she was asking $1300/hr. DOUBLE what she had been perfectly happy with before.
We've discussed this before... there are many drop-dead gorgeous non- PSE providers out there that provide equal or superior service to many PSEs for 1/5 the price... but the money has NEVER been about the sex; it's ALWAYS been about the fantasy. However, when the fantasy aspect is no longer there, one begins to get "buyer's remorse". So while I might be willing to spend double the price of a "regular" provider for a new PSE, I have a hard time bringing myself to spend too much more than that... Does that make ma a bad person? LOL.
Another hobbyist chimes in:
Also, agencies have been adding a lot of non Porn Stars to their lists. BodyMiracle has Angy and Raya DesMoines amongst others. Sophiesdreamgirls has Kristen Fox amongst others. In the last few years, I haven't had many PSE tumbles, because, quite frankly, the local talent is as energetic and accomodating, and sometimes better looking, than a large portion of the Porn girls working. Add to that the growth of gonzo porn, and the lack of starmaking in the porn industry, and its tough to get worked up to pay the high rates of the newer girls. I mean, really, how much different is there between a [X] and your local pothead stripper girl? There's not a lot of fantasy there left for me. It was one thing when you actually knew who the Vivid girls were, and you tried to hook up with them, but now that not many folks could name any of the current Vivid girls, there isn't a lot of fantasy in hooking up with them.
Porn-to-go starting to take off
Call it pocket porn, mini-porn, even porn-to-go. I am sitting in an edit suite completely dazzled by the cultural trend that is racing across the screens in front of me.
When the video iPod debuted back in October, there was great acclaim over the idea that we could download music videos, prime time television shows, and even movies, and carry them with us and watch them when and where we liked. Four months later, we're downloading alright. But on iPods, video cell phones and PDAs, some of the hottest content by far is pornography.
People in the porn industry, and even some major communications companies, say they've never seen anything like it. Since the dawn of the Internet, people could bypass adult video stores or hotel movie rentals in search of pornography. But now, they don't even need to have the stuff stored on their computers. So people are loading up the little hard drives on their hips with, well...hips...and a whole lot more.
Porn Stars On TheFaceBook.com
Mike writes:
I read a lot of what you say about porn stars having myspace accounts. I'll tell you something that's messed up-- I have a thefacebook.com account-which is like a myspace network for college aged people (granted I've been in college for 8 damn years working on a phd)- and what they consider "inappropriate" is ridiculous. They must have some software or something that looks for porn stars names on pictures. I had some pictures on my account from the AEE show this past January-- and they were fine till yesterday-- when I added comments on each of them -- just the name of who I was with in the picture. So-- it was my picture of me with Joanna Angel and Kylee Kross they considered "inappropriate content."
I know you can see the high-on-the-leg stuff but damn they're not showing too much of anything. Especially when thefacebook shows people in bikinis, making out, smoking pot, holding a gun, underage drinking, and chicks in low-cut dresses.
Like Socrates, Mike has been found guilty of corrupting the youth.
Satirical Thread About Melissa Lauren
Holly Randall posts: "I [expletive deleted] love Melissa."
Smiling Arab responds: "Doesn't count. Holly loves everyone--hence Luke's torment. If Terry Southern were still alive he'd say to hell with the Voltairean homage [1958's Candy] and just name it Holly."
Holly replies: "I don't like EVERYONE, I just like most people. Because I can't go around bad-mouthing people in the industry (some of us already know how much trouble that's gotten me into) I can't express my dislike for certain people. But believe me, there are a few people in the industry I'd like to see get their teeth knocked out. But only a few."
Daniel J. Hamlow writes on Amazon.com about Candy:
This sexually irreverent novel by Terry Southern wouldn't have spawned a 1968 cult movie with Ewa Aulin had it not been for the catalyst that sets things in motion. Candy Christian, a beautiful girl who just happened to be born on Valentine's Day, writes a paper on Contemporary Human Love for her instructor, Professor Mephesto, saying that "to give of oneself--fully--is not merely a duty prescribed by an outmoded superstition, it is a beautiful and thrilling privilege."
And things go really cockeyed from there. A tryst with Manuel, the Mexican gardener, in full application of her paper, leads to the hospitalization of her father, and her voyage into the wide, weird, world. It isn't that she's missing much. Her father's a stodgy conservative businessman, her aunt Livia is a vulgar hussy who uses sexual innuendos as regularly as one blinks. However, her adventures lead her into meeting people who want nothing more than to rip the wrapper off and have a bite of that... candy. Oops! Candy, I mean. Others downright hate her. The poor girl has the best of intentions and doesn't want to rock the boat for the sake of preserving her credo, and hence lets them take advantage of her without knowing that they are.
Written as it was in 1958, I can see how it shocked America and Europe. Dr. Krankeit's assertion that self-gratification is actually healthy is a message to the repressed people of the world: "This mechanism you've contrived to keep your sexual lust a secret from the world, and from you yourself, is causing you more trouble than you realize."
Southern's writing is brash, profanely funny, and will cause cause conservatives hairs to stand on end even today...
The Heartbreak Of Long Distance Porn Stud Dick Delaware
I call Dick Delaware (a competitor in the Ultimate Fighting Championship) Monday afternoon.
"I'm moving out of my mom's place," he says, "and closer to the Valley. I'll be able to start shooting more."
"How's your ex-girlfriend Layla Rivera?"
"She wants nothing to do with me. She paid my rent [last year]. I was hurting at the time.
"I confronted this guy (porn talent and manager D. Wise) who I heard falsely was going to parties with her. I almost ended up in a face-to-face with him in the parking lot. That wouldn't have been good. I would've gone to prison and he would've gone to the hospital.
"At the AVN Awards, she was with Max Hardcore and he had two big bodyguards just to keep me away from her.
"She has a lot of hate in her for me. She f---- all my friends in the other room. I'll be asleep in my apartment. One of my friends would steal my phone. I'd go confront the guy, and while I'm doing that, the guy that wanted to do my girlfriend would be at my house doing her. Brutal situations like that.
"I'll crash. One person will keep point making sure I'm napping. She'll be getting it on in the other room.
"I did a lot of things that made her mad at me. I was having problems with drugs. I was ignoring her. I wouldn't do things the way she wanted me to. It made her mad at me but not on the outside. She's a passive person, but she's still retaliating.
"These porn girls are zebras. They look beautiful. They look like a horse.
"My mom thinks I'm talking about porn. She doesn't like me talking about it."
"Goodbye man."
Dick calls me back at 8:20pm.
"My mother is very bothered [by Dick's participation in porn]," he says. "Extremely bothered by it. She wants me to quit. She's trying to get me high-paying jobs."
"Why don't you?"
"If I can get some fights coming up [Dick's lost his last few fights], if I can work my way back in there, I've got a lot to prove. I want to get my career back on track.
"I was a good guy to Layla. She was so promiscuous with so many guys just to spite me. I find out about these things later.
"I'm sore at her being a performer. If I walk up on a set and I see she's on set, everybody should clear the set and run away. I don't know what will happen if I see her on set. I'll go into shock. Anybody who shoots her... She's rubbed it in my face enough that I'm not good enough for her. I'm bitter. My recommendation to male performers is that you don't put your dick where it don't belong.
"I owe D. Wise an apology. I heard that from Brian and Cytherea that he had not attended any parties in the company of Layla. I was given that false information by Scott Lyons. Scott said that Layla showed up with D. Wise at a porn party at Cytherea's. I confronted D. Wise at AIM. I had believed he was putting himself out to the community as being with my girl. I felt like he had that coming if that was the case. It wasn't the case. Luckily, I didn't engage with him."
Farrah (Joy Amanda Marquart) Resides In LA County Jail
She was arrested for an outstanding warrant in LA. There's also bench warrant out for her arrest in New Jersey for failing to appear for her sentencing hearing.
Farrah was arrested Jan. 10 for more credit card fraud, then released. She was re-arrested on a "citizen's arrest" Feb. 9.
I believe Farrah came to Southern California in January 2006 to work as an escort.
Farrah has high bail. On the citizen's arrest, her bail is $175,000. For the felony arrest, its $75,000.
She's wanted in Allen County, Indiana for charges of: Public Intoxication, False Information, and Open Container Violation. Here's her Indiana mug shot:

Entwistle computer gives up sex secrets
BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) -- A British man charged with killing his wife and infant daughter trolled the Internet just before the slayings, looking for escort services and other Web sites offering help finding sexual partners, according to search warrant documents released Monday.
The same week, he obtained the names and addresses of various escort services in the Boston and Worcester areas, including "Eye Candy Entertainment," "Sweet Temptations" and "Exotic Express."
He visited a Web site called "Adult Friend Finder," which helps subscribers find sexual partners through Internet chat rooms, personal ads and other services, investigators said.
Happy Birthday To Joanna Angel's Dad
It was his birthday yesterday but she was drunk (at the home of her contract girl Kylee Kross Angel, they watched movies and Kylee banged a guy) and forgot to call him.
I call her Monday afternoon. "What are you doing for Valentine's Day?"
Joanna: "I have a date [with James Deen]."
"Do you have any new tattoos?"
Joanna: "I got one a few months ago -- it's a skull with XXX underneath. It's supposed to be me when I'm dead."
Luke: "Are you going to let Holly Randall shoot you?"
Joanna: "I want her too but she's always really busy. I wonder if she's going to have time in her schedule. Can you work it out so there's time in her schedule to shoot me? Are you her manager?"
Luke: "I'm her pimp daddy."
Joanna: "Do you make her schedule for her?"
Luke: "I do."
Joanna: "You have her date book sitting right there?"
Luke: "I do. I take 15% of her earnings off the top. Feb 20 looks open."
Joanna: "That sounds good. Does her mom not shoot anymore?"
Luke: "Suze shoots when she wants whoever she wants. Holly picks up the pieces."
Joanna: "I don't think her mom wants to shoot me. I don't think I'm her type."
Luke: "Neither Suze nor Holly shoot girls with tattoos.
"Does your dad read my site every day?"
Joanna: "He has a Google News Alert on me. He'll see it.
"I forgot to call him. My mom covered up for me. When he was shovelling the snow outside, she told him afterwards that I called to wish him happy birthday but I didn't want to interrupt him while he was shovelling. That's how bad of a daughter I am. My mom had to lie to cover up for me."
Luke: "How often are you drunk?"
Joanna: "Every couple of days."
Luke: "It's time for an intervention."
Joanna: "Are you going to intervene?"
Luke: "Yes."
Joanna: "I don't drink when everyone else does. At AVN, everyone else was drunk. I was too busy being followed around by people making documentaries on me. I couldn't do anything fun. Everyone else was wasted. I drink when no one else is drinking, such as 3 pm."
Luke: "Why isn't your alcoholism showing on your body?"
Joanna: "Because I drink vodka. It stops you from getting fat. Also, I don't eat very often."
Luke: "Are you going to induct Holly into sapphic love?"
Joanna: "Sapphic?"
Luke: "It means lesbian."
Joanna: "This is just the courting stage. It's a touchy situation when you are trying to court a girl."
Luke: "I heard you guys were going to get a tattoo together?"
Joanna: "What is this? Did you want to interview me or Holly Randall? I have her phone number."
Luke: "Let's move on."
Joanna: "I want to get a new tattoo when I come to California. Do you want to come with me?"
Luke: "No. I'm squeamish."
Joanna: "You can get one too."
Luke: "No."
Joanna: "I'm going to get a big banner on my legs -- 'Luke Is Back Forever.'"
Luke: "Next time you do a sex scene, you should turn to the camera and say, 'Dad, this is for you. Happy birthday.'"
Joanna talks about her MySpace page. "I think everybody should add me. I only have [20,756] friends. I want 20,000 more. It makes me feel better about myself."
Luke: "If you just lived a life of Torah..."
Joanna: "I would get more friends? That's a good point."
Luke: "Following the Torah will give you self-esteem."
Joanna: "Why do you need the Torah to get self-esteem when you can just have MySpace friends?"
Luke: "MySpace friends aren't real friends."
Joanna: "That's not what Tom told me. He said MySpace is the place for friends."
Luke: "It's a delusion."
Joanna: "I had to sleep in the same bed last night as Kylee Kross and some guy she was banging. I was sitting on the other side of the bed trying to watch a movie. It was embarrassing. Look at my life. This happens to me all the time."
Luke: "What do you see yourself doing in ten years?"
Joanna: "Having babies and writing a book."
HollyRandall: joanna drinking at 3 PM, i like it
HollyRandall: sounds like we'd get along fab
HollyRandall: and my drink of choice too, vodka
Luke: is vodka easier on the bod?
HollyRandall: hell yes, least fattening as long as you don't mix it with
sugary mixers
HollyRandall: also it kills my appetite
Luke: what about beer?
HollyRandall: but it often makes me feel crappy the next day, so i won't
go to the gym in the morning and then i'll want to eat crap because i
want to feed my hangover
HollyRandall: so it's like a catch 22
HollyRandall: beer is sooo fattening but it doesn't give me hangovers
HollyRandall: of course, the best method is to not drink at all
HollyRandall: i started a new excercise program
HollyRandall: i meet my old trainer out in the park and there's a couple
of my friends in the group; we do cardio, some muscle strengthening, and
abs twice a week. It's going to be much better for me-- all i do is cardio
so it's nice to have someone kick my ass to lift weights and stuff.
Holly Randall: 'I lit everthing this day by myself-- exhausting!'
Holly's legs are covered in bruises. She claims they are from moving her own equipment Feb 4. I say they're from rough sex.
I call her Monday morning. She's in Florida.
About a month ago in Los Angeles, Maya had to be hospitalized for exhaustion. She'd been shooting scenes every day and was worn out. She hadn't been eating and collapsed on a set.
She returns to Los Angeles Feb 20, and then goes to Hawaii.
I ask about her collapse. "It was stress," she says. "I had bad muscle spasms in my leg. I needed protein.
"I cut my work schedule in half.
"I had like a mini-nervous breakdown. That's what I would call it. Everybody got so worried about me. My phone wouldn't stop ringing. It was so sweet. It's good to know that people care.
"I'm still new to the industry. I got carried away. I thought I could handle it all. Then it got too overwhelming.
"Tylers Talent has two new beautiful girls coming to LA with us -- Ivy Lynn and Kylie Hayes. I've been prepping them.
"I'm shooting Girls Playing for Playboy Productions in San Diego (Feb 27, 28). I'll be hosting it and I'll have the boxcover.
"I'm only working for eight days. I have a booking a day. A lot of people want me for magazine work.
"I'm shooting a girl-girl scene tonight for my website (MayaHills.com) and a boy-girl POV.
"I was in Cabo San Lucas from Feb 1-5. It was so much fun. I shot for Barely Legal. It was my first time in Mexico. The guy I worked with, Talon, was such a sweet guy. Me and him were talking outside of work."
Luke: "How did you like the AVN show?"
Maya: "I wish I wasn't so tired. I signed 1,200 calendars. When I was at the awards show, I was falling asleep. I enjoyed the convention more than the award show, where you're sitting there, sitting there, sitting there... I was amazed by how many people at the convention wanted my picture and autograph."
